           HONORING THE LIFE AND LEGACY OF LOUIS GREGORY III

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. RICHARD HUDSON

                           of north carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, March 9, 2022

  Mr. HUDSON. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and legacy 
of former County Commissioner and law enforcer Louis Gregory III. A 
beloved member of our community, Commissioner Gregory exhibited the 
highest level of commitment to protecting and serving others.
  As a young man, Mr. Gregory served in the U.S. Marine Corps for four 
years before pursuing a career in law enforcement where he would 
continue to positively affect countless lives. For 38 years he climbed 
the ranks of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad's police agency before 
retiring as Superintendent of Police for CSX Transportation's North-End 
region. Perhaps most impressively, he became a member of the FBI's 
Joint Command Staff of their anti-terror task force in the wake of the 
September 11 attacks.
  After moving to Moore County in 2003, Mr. Gregory immediately began 
benefiting the lives of those in our community. Promptly named Chief of 
the Whispering Pines Police Department, Commissioner Gregory is 
remembered for the lasting impact that his leadership had in building a 
strong police force of quality officers. To this day, his tenure is 
known for instituting a culture of excellence that helped drive down 
local crime rates. After his career in law enforcement, he was elected 
to the Moore County Board of Commissioners where he served multiple 
years as vice chairman. Among other roles, he served as the board's 
liaison to the Board of Health and was a member of the Transportation 
Advisory Board. Outside of local government, he served as the past 
president of the Moore County Republican Men's Club and was a member of 
both the Masons and Rotary International.
  Commissioner Gregory passed away on March 5, 2022, and my thoughts 
and prayers are with his family and all who knew and loved him. As a 
Marine, member of law enforcement, and County Commissioner, 
Commissioner Gregory extended great personal sacrifice in dedicating 
himself to the service of others. I join our entire community in 
gratitude as we honor his extraordinary life.
  Madam Speaker, please join me today in honoring the life and legacy 
of Commissioner Louis Gregory III.
